Retail Sales Field Trip

Last Tuesday, my retail sales class and I took a mini field trip up to the Rite Aid at the Gardiner Lane Shopping Center. Retail Sales is basically a class where you learn all about the retail business and even how run your own retail establishment in the future. We took a trip to Rite Aid to look at all of their different products and analyze the prices. We had to figure out discounts. We also compared products to see whether the bigger version was a better buy than the smaller version. It was funny because so many curious shoppers wanted to know why Rite Aid was the spot we chose for a field trip. I guess it is kind of a unique spot to pick. Anyway, I'm looking forward to some more great field trips in this class. Our teacher promised us that they'd be happening frequently. That was pretty exciting to hear. :)

Apple Tournament

The Apple tournament was so much fun this year. I am on Assumption's varsity field hockey team, and I really enjoyed playing in these games. It was great to have the support of my classmates and teachers at the games. All the teams played hard, and we really enjoyed participating in the tournament. I am really excited about this upcoming season. I love all of my teammates, and I really think that we can come together and play some great rocket hockey this year. Thanks to everyone who came and supported our team! It means so much!

Welcome Back!


The opening prayer service today (8-12) was a great way to start off the school year. The entire school got to bond and be together, and I think that this really shows that no matter what, we will all be together. I love how each of the classes was individually addressed by their class representatives. It really got me thinking about what I can do to make this year even better. There are so many new things happening, and the new theme, 'Why not?' shows everyone that it's ok to try something new. I truly believe that after everyone gave their speeches today, every single person was thinking about how they can make not only their year better, but everyone else's as well. I know that this year is going to be amazing, and the prayer service was a great way to start it off!
